well i've had this v8 s thing for a few weeks and have run into a slight technical problem
i don't have time to work on the thing to fix all the bits and bobs that need doing
the car needs about £1500 worth of parts and about 200 hrs of labour to get it all sorted out right
what i need is a tvr expert to get everything sorted out
i have money and i have the skill - just no time
any one any ideas ?

Is 200 hours a typo? If not it's going to be expensive!!

hi
200 hrs is not a typo
there are lots of little bits and bobs to do and in my experience working on old sports cars it takes a long time if you are doing things properly
the car is on the road but has had a huge amount of stuff done to it by the previous owners what i need is someone who is a perfectionist to go through it and sort stuff out properly
i'm in no great rush so i can leave the car with someone for a few months if necessary
i know it's going to cost but then i'm not skint and it could be a really nice car
the only other option is to sell it to someone who wants to do the work themself and buy a newer one
the car has only done 43k miles and seems to have spent most of it's life in bits

You mean Noel at V8 Sports (advertises in Sprint) - I don't know his PH name either but take it from me, I've been there (I'm actually in one of those S4C photos) and Noel knows his stuff...
